Hello everyone. Asking your help, because i’m not a pro in RouteOS and got stuck.
As you see on attached picture i got two routers, each one having access to internet. The goal is to combine 3G and ADSL into into virtual WAN in 450G. But i don’t know how to do it
Also i can’t access internet via 3G from 450G. I can log into TL-mr3220 web interface and ping external sites from it. But from Winbox i can ping only WAN2 → 192.168.2.1 and no further. WAN1 is working without problems.
So questions are:
How to access internet via WAN2 on Mikrotik?
How to combine WAN1 and WAN2 into one virtual wan and share in across LAN?
Your network diagram looks great! Are you trying to share the bandwidth or use it solely for fail over? If you are wanting to “combine” them the easiest methods are ECMP, policy based routeing, and PCC. All have pros and cons. None of them will truly aggregate the bandwidth. There are MikroTik Wiki pages on both ECMP and PCC. As far as the Internet piece is concerned, what are your specific requirements? How do you want that piece to behave when it is all done?
As far as your other question, you will need to post your config before we can tell you what is missing.
I’m trying to share the bandwidth. The goal is to acheve maximum connection speed combining 3G and ADSL. What method would you recomend?
I attached 450g configuration file. MikroTik-16022014-1424.zip (24.4 KB)
Thank you, but thу main problem is is i don’t have traffic flow through 3g modem → tp-link → mirotik → lan. It’s stuck between tp-link and microtic. I can ping tp-link from Winbox, can login into tp-link web interface, can ping sites from this interface. But i can’t ping these external sites from winbox. Where could the problem be?
I didn’t have any luck restoring the backup file that you posted. However, the answer to your problem is probably in your routing statements. My guess is that you have an active default route that points to WAN1. Even if you have a second default route, it won’t be active unless you use some sort of mechanism to push traffic out that direction (like policy based routing, PCC, or ECMP). You static routing statements allow you to talk between those devices, but it doesn’t funnel the Internet traffic out that interface. That’s why you need something like one of the examples that were posted earlier. Change your default route back and forth between the two gateways. If you can access the Internet that way, then all you need is some sort of mechanism to utilize both gateways. Each of those examples will work for you. They each have their pros and cons… so find one that you like or you are interested in and then we can you help tailor it your needs.
